OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 18, 2012 at 11:56pm: Loved reading your posts! Thank you for sharing! Hope more mail and calls come in for everyone!

Comment by Momof5 on July 18, 2012 at 11:44pm: Lexxie- they had teeth pulled today, so if your SR had his teeth pulled they get today and tomorrow off then light duty for 2 days, I forgot what it was called LLD or something and they will get to make up their calls.

Comment by Momof5 on July 18, 2012 at 11:26pm: My SR called a little while ago ship 11 div 264- he said they got in trouble earlier so they were not able to make calls when everyone else did, but she gave them 10 mins.I was 8 pm mtn time. I recognized the 847 area code and started jumping around! He sounds great- tired but great. He said it was not as bad as he thought it would be. He said tomorrow is 3-1. He aced his swimming test and is being promoted to an E-3. Get this- I do not know who this child is, I told him I wold pay for his pictures and put the money in his account- and he said, "Mom, I have a job now, I can pay for them."- who is that child? He said they have all their uniforms now, he was surprised I knew what peanut butters were. I had to pass the phone because he only had 10 mins and my partner Jen wanted to talk to him and of course my daughter had to say hi to her favorite brother!

Comment by mom-11-263 on July 18, 2012 at 11:14pm: My son is in ship-11 div-263 and he called his girlfriend somewhere around 4:00pm here today, which would make it 6:00pm Great Lakes time.

Comment by FlowerGrower05 on July 18, 2012 at 11:07pm: Has any noticed or do you know if there is a certain time of day or certain day that your SR's have been able to make their 3 week call? Tomorrow is 21 days that mine has been gone so I am getting excited to hopefully receive the 3 week call soon!

Comment by FlowerGrower05 on July 18, 2012 at 11:02pm: Thank you, DSW93!

Comment by Mrs. Woody on July 18, 2012 at 10:54pm: FlowerGrower05: There is a link in the list above and I searched N4M using "questionnaire" in the search box (upper right hand corner). There were also some posted on the Facebook groups too. They are usually in word format and you can edit to fit your SR.
